Want a bit of advise really.
Being diagnosed in June/July with hba1c of 108 and low thyroid function also kidneys needed keeping an eye on (as little low) i had my first 3 blood tests end Sept and rang for results which the receptionist advised me were normal at 40mmol. I rang again this week to get book in for my 3 month bloods and have been told i cant have any as the doctor hasn't asked they be done.
Is this normal?
I was maybe mistakenly under the impression it was routine for 3 month tests for Diabetics. If you get a normal test do they not test again at 3 months and leave you to carry on with no testing? I am on 2000mg Metformin and Levothyroxin for my thyroid which is apparently normal levels too in Sept tests.
I have a telephone appointment next week with a nurse which is first contact since being advised i was diabetic over the phone in June. I would just like to know what the usual routine is before speaking to her.
Thanks in advance.
